Toddler at 9 Months?

We have a toddler now. Patrick had been consistently taking 4 or 5 steps every time he tries to walk. Patrick has yet to stand up from the middle of the floor. He always needs to stand up holding on to something and then he will turn and "walk". He's just over 9 months and shows no fear of anything. I'm trying to get a video of him walking, but he sits down and crawls to me when ever I get out the camera. Hopefully soon I'll be able to get a video posted.
